Bitterroot Skwala Variant

2014 Model Skwala Dry

























  • Size 10-12 1-2XL Dry Fly Hook.  The curvy, stonefly hooks look great too.
  • 6/0 olive thread
  • Black craft foam
  • Small black wire ribbing
  • Goose Biots for tail
  • Hand blended dubbing mix
  • Old school Fishaus Tackle "Fly Sheet" for wings.  Any sheet wing material would work fine.
  • Deer hair overwing
  • Silicone legs
  • Peacock herl for thorax under-body
  • One Grizzly, one brown hackle

This is a variant on a fly that George Kesel ties.  Mine is a bit more involved but I love the silhouette.  The instructions for George's fly was published in the Westslope Chapter of Trout Unlimited's newsletter.  Here's the link: Bitterroot Skwala Tying Instructions Part 1 Bitterroot Skwala Tying Instructions Part 2
